A global renewable energy development company, specialising in wind energy solutions around the world

Based on REN21's 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to humans' global energy consumption and 22 percent to their generation of electricity in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (non-biomass), 3.8% hydro electricity and 2% is electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.

Renewable resource

A renewable resource is an organic natural resource which can replenish to overcome usage and consumption, either through biological reproduction or other naturally reoccurring processes. Renewable resources are a part of Earth's natural environment and the largest components of its ecosphere. A positive life cycle assessment is a key indicator of a resource's sustainability.

Definitions of renewable resources may also include agricultural production, as in sustainable agriculture and to an extent water resources. In 1962 Paul Alfred Weiss defined Renewable Resources as: "The total range of living organisms providing man with food, fibres, drugs, etc...". Another type of renewable resources is renewable energy resources. Common sources of renewable energy include solar, geothermal and wind power, which are all categorised as renewable resources.

Food and water

Water resources

Water can be considered a renewablematerial when carefully controlled usage, treatment, and release are followed. If not, it would become a non-renewable resource at that location. For example, groundwater is usually removed from an aquifer at a rate much greater than its very slow natural recharge, and so groundwater is considered non-renewable. Removal of water from the pore spaces may cause permanent compaction (subsidence) that cannot be renewed. 97.5% of the water on the Earth is salt water, and 3% is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polarice caps. The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater, with only a small fraction (0.008%) present above ground or in the air.

Energy

In physics, energy is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms, but cannot be created or destroyed. The "ability of a system to perform work" is a common description, but it is difficult to give one single comprehensive definition of energy because of its many forms. For instance, in SI units, energy is measured in joules, and one joule is defined "mechanically", being the energy transferred to an object by the mechanical work of moving it a distance of 1 metre against a force of 1 newton. However, there are many other definitions of energy, depending on the context, such as thermal energy, radiant energy, electromagnetic, nuclear, etc., where definitions are derived that are the most convenient.

BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (German pronunciation:[baˈjɛɐ̯ɪʃə mɔˈtɔʁn̩ ˈvɛɐ̯kə]; German for Bavarian Motor Works), usually known under its abbreviation BMW, is a German luxury automobile, motorcycle, and engine manufacturing company founded in 1916. Headquartered in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, it also owns and produces Mini cars and serves as the parent company of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. BMW produces motorcycles under BMW Motorrad, and plug-in electric cars under the BMW i sub-brand. It is one of the best-selling luxury automakers in the world. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50stock market index.

History

BMW was established as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerkeaircraft manufacturing firm in 1917. After the end of World War I in 1918, BMW was forced to cease aircraft-engine production by the terms of the Versailles Armistice Treaty. The company consequently shifted to motorcycle production as the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted in 1923, followed by automobiles in 1928–29.

Webinar: 175 GW of Renewable Power, Including Addition of 100 GW Solar in India by the Year

The Indian Government has set an ambitious target to achieve 175 GW of renewable power, which includes 100 GWp of solar power by the year 2022. 175 GW of Renewable Energy(RE) power would roughly need around US$200 billion of investment, including funds for manufacturing and infrastructure. Direct investments required for power plants would be to the tune of US$150 billion. The Indian Government is contemplating a US$ 1 billion (Rs 6700 Crore) fund to finance RE projects.
The percentage share of RE in the Indian total power generation has increased from 4.97% in 2012-13 to about 5.7%, as on February 2016. The year 2015-2016 has been remarkable for RE development in India, which witnessed the highest ever solar and wind power capacity addition in a year of 3.01 GW in solar and 3.42 GW in w...

Advances in technology, reduction in costs, and improvements in how to plan and operate a highly renewable power system have enabled variable generation (VG) resources to become mainstays of a clean, reliable, and affordable grid. But are there limits to these services and, more generally, limits to how much VG we can put on the grid? This talk will cover the basics of the electric grid, tools and methods for analyzing the impacts of integrating VG resources into the grid, and a discussion on ways to mitigate challenges introduced by high penetrations of VG.

On May 9, 2017, the CleanEnergy SolutionsCenter, in partnership with USAID and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), hosted a webinar-based training titled Power Purchase Agreements for Grid-Aware Renewable Energy Procurement. The webinar is part of the GreeningTheGrid.org toolkit projects, a USAID and NREL collaboration designed to support countries in integrating renewable energy into the power system.
Power purchase agreements (PPAs) are a key mechanism that utilities use to procure variable renewable energy from independent power producers. A PPA is a long-term (20-25 year) contract that codifies all aspects of the electricity sale, including the price of electricity and the associated legal obligations of both parties. This webinar focused on PPA provisions that can enable wind and solar technologies to enhance grid stability and contribute to power system flexibility. Key considerations including ancillary services, advanced telemetry, and automatic generation control were discussed. This discussion was followed with a guest presentation by Xcel Energy, a vertically integrated electricity utility in the United States and the largest wind buyer in the country, to discuss Xcel Energy’s Model PPA for wind power systems.

Advances in technology, reduction in costs, and improvements in how to plan and operate a highly renewable power system have enabled variable generation (VG) resources to become mainstays of a clean, reliable, and affordable grid. But are there limits to these services and, more generally, limits to how much VG we can put on the grid? This talk will cover the basics of the electric grid, tools and methods for analyzing the impacts of integrating VG resources into the grid, and a discussion on ways to mitigate challenges introduced by high penetrations of VG.

The Future of Power Generation A New Era for Renewables

The CSISEnergy & National SecurityProgram is pleased to invite you to a discussion on the outlook for the electric power sector and the future role of renewables. The U.S. electric power sector is in the midst of a transition. The NationalRenewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) both produce annual outlooks that assess long-term trends in renewable energy, which help understand the changes to this sector. Doug Arent and Wesley Cole will outline the scenarios developed by NREL. Ethan Zindler will summarize the key findings of the BNEF study published earlier this year.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) tracks potential market trends to inform the electric sector analysis in the United States. With this data, NREL analyzes the current and future technology costs and performance for renewable and conventional electricity generation technologies. This includes market projections with a dozen possible scenarios created with NREL’s Regional Energy Deployment Systems (ReEDS) model.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance annually publishes a long-term view on the projected evolution of the world’s power markets. New Energy Outlook uniquely assesses segments of the electricity system that are driving rapid market changes, grid system developments, and dynamic business models. The comprehensive assessment includes the costs of wind and solar technology, battery storage, electricity demand, and consumer dynamics.

The Solar Carve-Out and SREC program within the MassachusettsRPS have led to dramatic increases in solar capacity in the Commonwealth. Last year, the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) carried out a thorough process, with considerable stakeholder input, to design a new program that would maintain robust growth in the number of solar installations while reducing costs for ratepayers. A new solar incentive program is now in the process of being implemented. Among other things, it seeks to reduce market risk and uncertainty so that incentives will not need to be as large.
In this webinar, Kaitlin Kelly, RPS ProgramCoordinator at DOER, described the context for the program, discussed the program’s design considerations, and explained how the program will work and be rolled out. Her presentation was followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Renewable Energy: Is the Future in Nuclear?: Gordon Aubrecht at TEDxColumbus

Over the short term (the next two centuries), climate change is the largest threat to a salubrious planet that we can leave to our grandchildren. While it seems still an open question whether if we humans do manage to address climate change at all, Dr. Aubrecht will present that while undeniably controversial, nuclear energy may be the only choice for a fully renewable energy system for our future.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

New Wind Turbine Technologies - renewable energy

New Wind Turbine Technologies
The new wind-lens turbine
A Japanese research group is working on a new technique that could triple the output of wind power generation. Called the wind-lens turbine, it gathers the wind much as a lens concentrates light by means of a special device that is attached around the turbine. So, what could that be? Look forward to this! It's simpler than you'd think! Tests have already started on turbines out at sea in preparation for practical introduction. Effective use of the wind around Japan's coasts could far more than satisfy Japan's electricity needs. We report from the vanguard of this dream new technology.

Webinar: 175 GW of Renewable Power, Including Addition of 100 GW Solar in India by the Year

The Indian Government has set an ambitious target to achieve 175 GW of renewable power, which includes 100 GWp of solar power by the year 2022. 175 GW of Renewable Energy(RE) power would roughly need around US$200 billion of investment, including funds for manufacturing and infrastructure. Direct investments required for power plants would be to the tune of US$150 billion. The Indian Government is contemplating a US$ 1 billion (Rs 6700 Crore) fund to finance RE projects.
The percentage share of RE in the Indian total power generation has increased from 4.97% in 2012-13 to about 5.7%, as on February 2016. The year 2015-2016 has been remarkable for RE development in India, which witnessed the highest ever solar and wind power capacity addition in a year of 3.01 GW in solar and 3.42 GW in wind power, while solar power capacity reaching 7.8 GWp by June, 2016.
Several steps have been taken by the Government of India to promote RE power such as the development of solar parks, ultra mega solar power projects and other schemes to promote RE.
This webinar, with experts from India, shall focus on what needs to be done now and over next years to achieve this target, while doing an introspection on the present status of RE sector in India.
